Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.
So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.
Ooh, Kåre เลียม Enga Pugs are my favorite! Beholden, I have that tendency as well with cats; I've always been an expert on dogs and a little blurry on cats. I had stuffed The Dogs and The Cats (Artlist International) as a kid in the early aughts; the cats were: a Maine Coon, a Russian Blue, an American Shorthair, a Scottish Fold, and a Somali.
I like cats and have had quite a few up until I became allergic to them, breaking out in hives and shortness of breath. Thankfully, I can still read about them without any reaction.
I did glaze over but that's because I have a migraine. I read it again ha ha ha. Gosh I often find myself thinking OMG I'm just like Mum or Dad and not all are the best versions of them either ha ha ha.
I loved my parents dearly and miss them every day. At 55 though I am realising more and more, I am my parents child, but mostly their good bits.
I can tell when my oldest daughter from Colorado visits with her hubby, who is a talker, lol. She acknowledges him with an "uh-hu" once in a while, but I can tell her mind is somewhere else.
There are two things I never thought would happen in my lifetime. One was the reunification of Germany and the other was the independence of Eritrea from Ethiopia. Both were highly unlikely to ever be achieved but have now happened. At this rate, there might even come a day when the Kurds have their own country again. And that hasn’t happened for thousands of years. They are, after all, of Biblical age and are descended from the people known as the Medes and the Persians. They are the Medes.
